News hit this weekend that Charlie very graciously wrote a check for a whopping $100K to help his Scream 5 co-star out of tax debt.

The years haven't been kind to LiLo's bank account and the actress found herself owing the IRS over $200K in back taxes for the years 2009 and 2010.

As legend goes, she initially turned down the money but Charlie went ahead and sent the cash to her manager, anyway. The Anger Management star was reportedly "worried" about Lindsay's erratic behavior while the duo filmed their Scream 5 spots this September.

Lindsay's big comeback flick, Liz & Dick, aired on Lifetime last night and while critics have been scathing in their reviews, reports say she could net as much as $2 million this year from her various acting gigs.

"Everything I've gone through made me ready to play Liz," she told usmagazine.com last week. "Elizabeth was drunk on sets. I've never been drunk on set, ever. I did my time and I respect the law."
